Judge orders Alabama driver to apologize or face jail for telling officer, 'Get your ass out of the way'

5. White cop, white judge, Alabama and ridiculous penalty along with a cop treating a citizen with contempt.

The citizen is black.

Hmmm, I wonder what the issue can be.

His attorney said the decision is judicial overreach and believes racism is at the center of the judge’s order.

“My client is being punished for a protected speech that has got nothing to do with the traffic situation, which to me is just good ol’ boy Alabama,” David Harrison, the attorney, said Monday. “And what I mean by that is that this system is not equal for African Americans and white people.”

“This man is being convicted for something they couldn’t charge him with and win at trial,” Harrison continued. “The crime here is not apologizing and that’s my issue. It’s not constitutionally sound. It’s probably the most unsound decision that I’ve seen in 33 years of practicing law.”
